Chinese calligraphy is known as *shufa*. It's one of China's most treasured traditions. For 1thousands (thousand) of years, people have used brushes, ink, and paper to create art with words. It's more than just writing—it's 2a way to express feelings and wisdom as well.
When I first tried calligraphy, my teacher told me, “Every stroke (笔画) has a soul.” I dipped the brush into thick black ink and carefully 3drew (draw) a horizontal line. My hand shook, and the line looked messy. But my teacher said 4with a smile, “Patience is key. Let your heart guide the brush.” Over time, I learned that calligraphy teaches more than art—it also teaches focus and calmness.
In ancient times, scholars spent years 5learning (learn) calligraphy well. They believed beautiful writing reflected (反映) a beautiful mind. Even today, many Chinese families hang calligraphy works at 6their (they) home, often with meaningful sayings like “平安 (peace)” or “福 (good fortune)”. These words carry people's hopes 7and wishes.
Calligraphy is also part of festivals. During the Spring Festival, people write red couplets (春联) to decorate doors. The bold, flowing characters welcome luck and happiness for the new year.
Learning calligraphy helped me understand Chinese culture more deeply. Like a bridge, calligraphy 8connects (connect) the past and present. Every time I write, I feel 9closer (close) to the wisdom of ancient poets and philosophers than before. 10As the Chinese saying goes, “Your handwriting mirrors your character.” Through calligraphy, I'm not just creating art—I'm growing patience and respect for tradition.
